...leaving University Hall, the procession moved along the principal avenues within the college grounds, through the gateway between Massachusetts and Harvard Halls, and, passing through the lines of the escort formed by the undergraduates, entered the Congregational Church. The galleries of the edifice had been reserved for the ladies, and, after the entrance of the procession, every part of the building was filled by a crowded audience.
